Owner's Blog:
We're into summer full time. Warm temps and lots of sunshine. Baby squirrels, geese and ducklings everywhere.
Wild asparagus and berries are becoming plentiful. Unfortunately we are experiencing a closure on shellfish because of PSP situation. Hopefully this will be lifted soon. Leo, our fantastic fishing guide has been quite successful with some huge red snapper and good sized crabs.
One of our major costs is transporting guests by boat from Sechelt. We have decided that for 2010, anyone staying min of 4 nites will get one nite free!!!!! Reduced rates will not apply to certain rentals, i.e. canoes, kayaks, bikes, etc which are already discounted.
As described in previous blogs our "camp" is largely a "labour of love" with much priority placed on nature and a green environment. Having spent many years in the outdoors I sense a growing desire of many travellers to enjoy nature and associated peace and quiet.
We have installed solar power and have some 110V lighting. Still a few bugs to work out.
We planned to build 1 or 2 larger cabins this winter but have reconsidered and will join the ranks of the "glamping fraternity" - short for glamorous camping utilizing tent cabins, one of which will be set up in July.
We look forward to hearing from old and new guests. If you would rather not use the standard contact form located on our website you can email us direct at info@tzoonie.com or give us a phone call. Sometimes we are both away for a day or two. Please leave your number or email and we promise to respond as soon as we return. Incidentally, we had a major postponement and the August long weekend is available if you hurry. Thanks.
Cheers for now. Art Giroux (July 12/2010) |
